Buzzfeed’s 11 Reasons Hungry Stomachs Need to Come to Baltimore

You see these “lists” all the time. Top places to eat and drink in tons of cities. And when they focus on Baltimore, I am sometimes confused. Sometimes I say things to my computer screen like….”Noooooo. They got this all wrong. They clearly don’t live here…who is this person?”
Blah blah blah.

Well, this list got a lot of it right. For example, Peter’s Inn has long been one of my most favorite places to eat in town. Bud and Karen Tiffany 100% know what they’re doing. That steak and mashed potatoes? Killer. And the BLT on Saturday mornings…the best.  Woodberry Kitchen is also one of my top choices – they support local farms, have the nice, but not too fancy thing down and the cocktails are some of the best around – and the CMP dessert makes me actually order dessert. Bryan Voltaggio’s Aggio is a new spot – in a weird location – but my first visit was excellent and I can’t wait to go back.

Also mentioned are Wit & Wisdom, Stuggy’s Hot Dogs, Faidley’s, Iggie’s, Hersh’s and of course, Old Bay, among others.

What do you think is missing as a reason to come to Baltimore to eat?

Here are just a few delicious dishes I’ve enjoyed recently around Charm City…
